In some embodiments, the substrate material layer 102 further includes an inter-layer dielectric, (ILD) and/or a contact, but the invention is not limited thereto.

The interconnect structure 108 is formed on the substrate material layer 102. The interconnect structure 108 includes a dielectric layer 104 and a plurality of wires 106 formed in the dielectric layer 104. The dielectric layer 104 is, for instance, an inter-metal dielectric (IMD) layer, and the material thereof can be a dielectric material. For instance, the dielectric material can be silicon oxide, tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, undoped silica glass (USG), borophosphosilicate glass (BPSG), phosphosilicate glass (PSG), a low-k material having a dielectric constant less than 4, or a combination thereof. The low-k material is, for instance, fluorosilicate glass (FSG), silsesquioxnane, aromatic hydrocarbon, organosilicate glass, parylene, fluoro-polymer, poly(arylether), porous polymer, or a combination thereof. The silsesquioxnane is, for instance, hydrogen silsesquioxnane (HSQ), methyl silsesquioxane (MSQ), or hybrido-organosiloxane polymer (HOSP). The aromatic hydrocarbon is, for instance, SiLK. The organosilicate glass is, for instance, carbon black (e.g., black diamond, BD), 3MS, or 4MS. The fluorinated polymer is, for instance, PFCB, CYTOP, or Teflon. The poly(arylether) is, for instance, PAE-2 or FLARE. The porous polymer is, for instance, XLK, nanofoam, Awrogel, or Coral.

The wires 106 include a conductive layer and/or a via, and the material thereof can be a conductive material. For instance, the conductive material can be metal, metal alloy, metal nitride, metal silicide, or a combination thereof. In some exemplary embodiments, the metal and metal alloy are, for instance, Cu, Al, Ti, Ta, W, Pt, Cr, Mo, or an alloy thereof. The metal nitride is, for instance, titanium nitride, tungsten nitride, tantalum nitride, tantalum silicon nitride (TaSiN), titanium silicon nitride (TiSiN), tungsten silicon nitride (WSiN), or a combination thereof. The metal silicide is, for instance, tungsten silicide, titanium silicide, cobalt silicide, zirconium silicide, platinum silicide, molybdenum silicide, copper silicide, nickel silicide, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the forming method of the wires 106 can be a single damascene process, a dual damascene process, or a combination thereof. The wires 106 electrically connect a(n) active device/passive device to a subsequent contact conductor 112 and/or pad 110.

A contact conductor 112 is disposed in the substrate material layer 102. The material of the contact conductor 112 can be a conductive material. For instance, the conductive material is metal alloy, metal nitride, metal silicide, or a combination thereof. In some exemplary embodiments, the metal and metal alloy are, for instance, Cu, Al, Ti, Ta, W, Pt, Cr, Mo, or an alloy thereof. The metal nitride is, for instance, titanium nitride, tungsten nitride, tantalum nitride, tantalum silicon nitride (TaSiN), titanium silicon nitride (TiSiN), tungsten silicon nitride (WSiN), or a combination thereof.

In some embodiments, the contact conductor 112 is a through-silicon via (TSV), and based on the forming order, the forming method thereof can be substantially divided into a via-first process, a via-middle process, and a via-last process. For instance, in the via-first process, the contact conductor 112 is formed in the substrate material layer 102 before the front-end-of-line (FEOL) process of the wafer; in the via-last process, the contact conductor 112 is formed in the substrate material layer 102 after the back-end-of-the-line (BEOL) process of the wafer; and in the via-middle process, the contact conductor 112 is formed in the substrate material layer 102 between the FEOL and BEOL processes (i.e., middle-end-of-the-line (MEOL) process). In the present embodiment, the contact conductor 112 is formed in the substrate material layer 102 via a via-middle process and electrically insulated from the substrate material layer 102 via a dielectric material (not shown in figures), but the invention is not limited thereto, and the contact conductor 112 can also be formed in the substrate material layer 102 via a via-first process or a via-last process.

The dielectric layer 114 is formed on the interconnect structure 108 and exposes the pad 110. The material of the dielectric layer 114 can be the dielectric material as for the dielectric layer 104 described above. In some embodiments, the forming method of the dielectric layer 114 can include first forming a dielectric material layer (not shown) covering the pad 110 on the interconnect structure 108. Next, a portion of the dielectric material layer located on the pad 110 is removed to form the dielectric layer 114 exposing the pad 110. Alternatively, the forming method of the dielectric layer 114 can include first forming a dielectric material layer (not shown) on the interconnect structure 108, then removing the portion of the dielectric material layer where the pad 110 to be formed, and then forming the pad 110. In some embodiments, the dielectric material layer located on the pad 110 can be removed using a planarization process. The planarization process is, for instance, a chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) process.

Referring further to FIG. 1A, a carrier plate 10 is provided. In some embodiments, the carrier plate 10 can be a carrier wafer similar to the wafer 100. In other words, the carrier plate 10 can also include a plurality of dies, and FIG. 1A shows one of the dies 11 (i.e., third die). The die 11 includes a substrate material layer 12, an interconnect structure 18 (including a dielectric layer 14 and wires 16), a pad 20, and a dielectric layer 22, and the relative positions, materials, and forming methods thereof are respectively as provided for the substrate material layer 102, the interconnect structure 108, the pad 110, and the dielectric layer 114 of the die 101 and are not repeated herein. In some embodiments, in the carrier plate 10 (carrier wafer), a contact conductor does not need to be formed in the substrate material layer 12, but the invention is not limited thereto.

Referring to both FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, the carrier plate 10 is covered by the wafer 100. In some embodiments, the carrier plate 10 can be a carrier wafer similar to the wafer 100, wherein the pad 110 of the die 101 faces the carrier plate 10 and is connected to the pad 20 of the die 11 of the carrier plate 10 (i.e., carrier wafer). As a result, since the carrier plate 10 is a wafer, the carrier plate 10 does not need to be removed in a subsequent process (a regular carrier plate for carrying a wafer does not have an active device and/or an interconnect structure, and is therefore removed in a subsequent process), and therefore not only can process be simplified and the cost of the carrier be eliminated, stacking density of the chip can be further increased. In some embodiments, the pad 110 of the die 101 can be connected to the pad 20 of the die 11 in the carrier plate 10 (i.e., carrier wafer) and the dielectric layer 114 of the die 101 can be connected to the dielectric layer 22 of the carrier plate 10 using a hybrid bond (HB) method.

Referring to both FIG. 1B and FIG. 1C, a portion of the substrate material layer 102 is removed to form a substrate 102 a, wherein the contact conductor 112 is exposed on and protruded from a second surface S2 of the substrate 102 a. In some embodiments, the method of removing a portion of the substrate material layer 102 includes, in order, performing a thinning process and an etching process on the surface (i.e., back of the die 101) of the substrate material layer 102 away from the interconnect structure 108 such that the contact conductor 112 is exposed on and protruded from the second surface S2 of the substrate 102 a. The thinning process includes, for instance, performing a grinding process on the surface of the substrate material layer 102 away from the interconnect structure 108. The etching process is, for instance, dry etching, wet etching, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the contact conductor 112 does not cover the surface (i.e., the second surface S2) of the substrate 102 a away from the interconnect structure 108. Moreover, the thickness of the substrate 102 a is less than the thicknesses of the substrate material layers 12 and 102. In some embodiments, the substrate 102 a has a thickness t1, and 3 μm<t1<100 μm; and the substrate material layers 12 and 102 have a thickness t2, and t2 is about 775 μm. In other words, in the embodiment in which the carrier plate 10 is a carrier wafer, the thickness of the substrate material layer 12 thereof is greater than the thickness of the substrate 102 a (i.e., the thickness of the carrier wafer (thickness of the die 11) is greater than the thickness of the die 101 a), and therefore when the die 101 a is carried thereon, the issue of difficult subsequent process thereon due to an insufficient thickness of the die 101 a can still be prevented.

Referring to FIG. 1D, a dielectric layer 116 is formed on the second surface S2 of the substrate 102 a, wherein the dielectric layer 116 exposes the first contact conductor 112. The material of the dielectric layer 116 is, for instance, a dielectric material. The dielectric material is, for instance, silicon oxide, tetraethoxysiloxane (TEOS) silicon oxide, undoped silica glass (USG), or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the forming method of the dielectric layer 116 includes first forming a dielectric material layer (not shown) covering the contact conductor 112 on the second surface S2 of the substrate 102 a. Next, a portion of the dielectric material layer located on the contact conductor 112 is removed to form a dielectric layer 116 exposing the contact conductor 112. The forming method of the dielectric material layer is, for instance, ALD, CVD, SOG, or a combination thereof. The method of removing the dielectric material layer located on the contact conductor 112 can be a planarization process such as CMP. In some embodiments, the top surface of the dielectric layer 116 and the top surface of the contact conductor 112 are coplanar, and the dielectric layer 116 surrounds the contact conductor 112 protruded from the second surface S2.

Referring to FIG. 1E, a wafer 200 is provided. The wafer 200 includes a plurality of dies, and FIG. 1E only shows one of the dies 201 (i.e., second die). The die 201 includes a substrate material layer 202, an interconnect structure 208 (including a dielectric layer 204 and wires 206), a pad 210, a contact conductor 212, and a dielectric layer 214. In some embodiments, the wafer 200 is similar to the wafer 100, and therefore the relative positions, materials, and forming methods of the substrate material layer 202, the interconnect structure 208, the pad 210, the contact conductor 212, and the dielectric layer 214 in the die 201 thereof are substantially similar to those of the substrate material layer 102, the interconnect structure 108, the pad 110, the contact conductor 112, and the dielectric layer 114 of the die 101 and are not repeated herein.

Next, the wafer 200 covers the wafer 100 a such that the die 201 is docked with the die 101 a, and the contact conductor 112 of the die 101 a is directly physically in contact with the pad 210 of the die 201. As a result, another pad for connecting the contact conductor 112 and the pad 210 does not need to be formed on the dielectric layer 116, such that the process can be simplified and the process yield of the chip-stack structure can be increased and production cost thereof can be reduced as a result. In some embodiments, the contact conductor 112 of the die 101 a can be directly physically connected to the pad 210 of the die 201 using a hybrid bonding method. In some embodiments, the contact conductor 112 has a width A; the pad 210 has a width B, and 5≤B/A, in particular 5≤B/A≤10, or even B/A>10. As a result, even if misalignment occurs to the contact conductor 112 and the pad 210, the contact conductor 112 can still be electrically connected to the pad 210 well without affecting other adjacent contact conductors 112 and/or pads 210 (for instance, being too close to the adjacent contact conductor 112 and/or the pad 210 results in a risk from an electron migration (EM) effect, such that a risk of short circuit is present). In the present embodiment, the active surface of the die 201 faces the back of the die 101 a, that is, in the present embodiment, a back-to-front stacking method is exemplified, but the invention is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, a front-to-front or back-to-back stacking method can also be used. Moreover, referring to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1E, in the present embodiment, two wafers (wafers 100 and 200) are stacked on the carrier plate 10 as an example, but the invention is not limited thereto, and the process of, for instance, FIG. 1C to FIG. 1E, can be further performed on the wafer 200 to form a wafer 200 a and stack one or a plurality of wafers thereon.

Referring to both FIG. 1E and FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, two wafers are stacked on the carrier plate 10 as an example, and therefore, the die 201 is the top-most die of the die-stack structure, but the invention is not limited thereto. The process of, for instance, FIG. 1C to FIG. 1D is performed on the die 201 to form a die 201 a, and the contact conductor 212 thereof is exposed on and protruded from the surface of the substrate 202 a away from the interconnect structure 208, and the dielectric layer 216 is formed on the surface of the substrate 102 a away from the interconnect structure 208 and exposes the contact conductor 212. In an embodiment, the material and the forming method of the dielectric layer 216 are substantially similar to those of the dielectric layer 116 and are not repeated herein. Next, a redistribution layer (RDL) 218 is formed on the dielectric layer 216 to define the pad of the top-most die of a die-stack structure 300. The redistribution layer 218 is electrically connected to the corresponding contact conductor 212. The material of the redistribution layer 218 can be the conductive material as for the contact conductor 112 set forth above. For instance, the conductive material can be the metal, metal alloy, metal nitride, metal silicide, or a combination thereof.

Referring to FIG. 3, a singulation process is performed on the die-stack structure 300 to cut the die-stack structure 300 into a plurality of chip-stack structures 300 a separated from one another. In the following, the chip-stack structure 300 a of the present embodiment is described via FIG. 3. Moreover, although the manufacturing method of the chip-stack structure 300 a of the present embodiment is exemplified by the manufacturing method above, the manufacturing method of the chip-stack structure 300 a of the invention is not limited thereto.

Referring to FIG. 3, the chip-stack structure 300 a includes a chip 101 b (i.e., first chip) and a chip 201 b (i.e., second chip). The chip 101 b and the chip 201 b respectively correspond to the die 101 a and the die 201 a (as shown in FIG. 2). The chip 201 b is located on the chip 101 b. The chip 101 b includes a substrate 102 a (first substrate), an interconnect structure 108 (first interconnect structure), a pad 110 (first pad), a contact conductor 112 (first contact conductor), and a dielectric layer 114. The interconnect structure 108 is located on a first surface S1 of the substrate 102 a. The pad 110 is located on the interconnect structure 108. The contact conductor 112 is located in the substrate 102 a and exposed on a second surface S2 of the substrate 102 a opposite to the first surface S1. The chip 201 b includes a substrate 202 a (second substrate), an interconnect structure 208 (second interconnect structure), a pad 210 (second pad), a contact conductor 212 (second contact conductor), and a dielectric layer 214. The interconnect structure 208 is located on the substrate 202 a. The pad 210 is located on the interconnect structure 208. The contact conductor 212 is located in the substrate 202 a, wherein the contact conductor 112 of the chip 101 b is directly physically in contact with the pad 210 of the chip 201 b. The contact conductor 112 has a width A, the pad 210 has a width B, and 5≤B/A, such as 5≤B/A≤10, or even B/A>10. Moreover, the contact conductor 112 does not cover the second surface S2 of the substrate 102 a. In some embodiments, the chip-stack structure 300 a further includes a carrier plate 10 located below the chip 101 b. In some embodiments, the carrier plate 10 is a carrier chip. The pad 110 of the chip 101 b is connected to the pad 20 of the carrier plate 10 (i.e., the carrier chip), wherein the thickness of the carrier chip is greater than the thickness of the chip 101 b. In some embodiments, the chip-stack structure 300 a further includes a dielectric layer 116 located between the chip 101 b and the chip 201 b. In some embodiments, the active surface of the chip 201 b faces the back of the chip 101 b.

Based on the above, in the chip-stack structure and the manufacturing method thereof of the embodiments, since the first contact conductor of the first chip is directly physically in contact with the second pad of the second chip, a pad for connecting the first contact conductor and the second pad does not need to be formed on the second surface of the first substrate, such that the process can be simplified, and the process yield of the chip-stack structure can be increased and production cost thereof can be reduced.
